The Art Kahos in Pirats, is an experiment of shared art creativity into virtual worlds, a selection of 10 artists, differents each year, try to find a deal and to comunicate only with prims, colors, sounds, without talking eachother in one month. The result is not sure and always intersting, probably it is a mirror of our contemporary soceity feelings. Here follow all details on this art project.

Note to artist The time to unveil the theme of work for Art Kahos has now arrived. You have to make your sculpture on the theme : The H-bomb and the balance (ecological, political …) Music to accompany the work is: Child in Time of Deep Purple, it will be posted on the workplace for the duration of the work in progress.

For this 2nd edition, which begins on 1 April 2011, the artistic sponsor is Kristine Schomaker, Gracie Kendal in SL, and Art Kahos is hosted by l’Ecole Sl, that also provides the counters. Each artist must use exactly 400 prims. Each artist will use about 100 prims per week, a counter will be in place so that everyone can follow the change in the workplace. The sponsor and the organizers will ensure the smooth progress of the sculpture. Artists should not communicate with each other on the final result. It is not a collective. But the result is a unique work together. Each artist will have to adapt to the work of others in any way he can’t undo the work of another artist. At the end of each working session of the artist, it should remain as permanent prims that can not be modified or removed during a subsequent session. The artist must be the creator of the prims and all elements that arise, they must be original, and does not come from a previous creation.

Here we are! The Burn2.0 is near to start and from backstage it is already started with limited access for builders. Yes I must say, it’s a bit sad to remember that great past versions of same inspiration manifestation as Burning Life 2009 (6 editions) with an incredible and neverseen all linked park expo with 32 sims of Second Life gived from Linden Labs, the past magnificent event of Art into the metaverse BLife with great staff art organizers expert as White Lebed that I like to remember for her great work of past editions, she gave also her point of view about what happened in this last summer transition between the two different concepts editions. Now the new Burning Man (RLife) inspired event become Burning 2.0 and it is composed from 6 sims but all private owned on new organization that obviously needs to grow up in the next years. So it seems to found a new idea order, to plan into a different point of view, where everybody needs to pay (this year now it is 8000 ld for a plot standard) for a plot area 32 x 32 mt with 351 prims, and usual many rules, limits as do not use huge prims, no rezzer with temp prims, no large use of sculpts, huge scripts, for builders and no commercial logo, no selling, respect of SLife TOS policy, ect.

So this year almost all plots are with payment fees, 25 with lottery 100 ld. price and 12 free plots with Theme Assignement. So my symbiont Xaan Allen won a plot at the lottery for random lucky avatars! And I putted in 2 friends as cobuilders Shanti Yutani and Dixit Writer.

Title of mine installation at Burn2 :Ignis Homo – Man of Fire –
The giant Man of Fire is the “power”, he is standing on a transparent city made of rust buildings under fire, the shadow men’s army try to climb and to conquest the giant, but they fail, they are trapped into the buildings and become black shapes, the few that reach the top are throwed away in the sky by the hands of power. The Sun is a Machina, a metal sphere constantly moving, it’s the symbol of the technologic perfection but also of a beautiful cage.
